Prelude Posters - Beethoven Symphony No. 3

"Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets."  - Beethoven

Beethoven Symphony No. 3 was not a work I greatly appreciated until relatively recently.  It can be difficult, particularly with pieces which carry some implied importance and historical weight, to listen with an open mind and be free from all the cluttering opinions surrounding the provenance.  Also, until exploring the historically informed performance practice, this symphony always seemed to plod along; conductors such as Norrington, Harnoncourt, and the recent Paavo Jarvi collaboration with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen have all awakened the primal quality of this highly original symphonic masterpiece for me as a listener.  Here is our visual interpretation if this symphony.  We have worked to create imagery for the Beethoven Symphonies No. 3, 5, and 9 so far in this tonal palette and visual style.
